A Sabbath-Keeping Company in Iowa
By WM. L. JAYCOX
BRO. JAYCOX, of Clarinda, Iowa, says: By the grace of God, there are now eight of us keeping the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. We meet every Friday evening to commence keeping the Sabbath, and have a prayer-meeting at six o'clock, in which all join with deep earnestness. We all feel that we never knew what true enjoyment was before. The Bible grows a hundred-fold more interesting to us. We are having a general Bible Class every Sabbath, and we never feel satisfied to close our Bible Class, the study of the Bible is so delightful. Threats are already made to disfellowship and disown us, even by those who have been our nearest friends, if we do not stop agitating this subject. The pastor quotes Isaiah where many nations shall come, omitting the first clause, to prove that God says the law should go out of Zion; and then says it went out when Christ nailed it to the cross, and that the Sabbath was changed on the day of pentecost, and hence from that time the first day was kept for the Sabbath. In love for the truth, WM. L. JAYCOX.
